So, basically you want to lose weight but you aren't willing to put any effort into it.

Well, good luck.

If you say you already don't eat much and are still fat anyways, maybe you should have your thyroid checked.

Also realize that there are some people out there getting up to 1/2 of their calories from sweetened beverages like soda pop (according to a recent news report). I don't know if this is the case for you, but if so that's something you can fix easily....

BTW, if you're on a calorie-restricted diet and not getting enough protein, this signals the body to conserve fat by slowing down your metabolism and you also lose muscle instead. So, make sure you're getting protein in your low calorie diet. If you have to, get a sugar free whey protein drink mix at Wal-Mart or wherever and take it two or three times daily. Protein deficiency is the main signal to the body that food might be scarce and to conserve fat. Make sure this isn't the case with you.

I found the book to be very informative and easy to read.

I've lost 17 pounds in 12 days, I'm just concerned that I'm losing too much weight, too quickly. I will admit I haven't followed the guide exactly. I'm not sticking perfectly to the listed foods and meal plans (but mostly) and doing very little exercise, but the weight keeps flying off.

It clearly works and if I'd followed it exactly I think it would scare the living daylights out of me because of the amount that I'd lose. So thanks again for the information. I've never purchased anything like this before because they are usually full of trash, but 3WD has been a pleasant surprise.

Get started today!

Protein diets seem to work well. Like Dr. Atkins for example. I don't personally think it's a great way to go but it has proven success for people. I've done it myself with great results but in the long run I think smaller portions of every day food and increased exercise are a more healthy way to lose extra weight. Drinking water is very important as well.

If you're already not eating much then you're body could be in starvation mode and keeping every morsel you injest to store as fat. Also if you eat too little then your metabolism slows down and you're body won't have enough energy to burn calores. Most women say 5'5 and 135 lbs need at lest 12oo calories a day just to get by, if you're active then you need 250-500 more, anything below 800 will no doubt put your body into starvation mode.

You really need to exercise, it's probably what your body is asking for and it could stay idle until you become more active (not saying you're not active, but it might need something extra like a few walks a week). The only other thing I could suggest in addition would be diet pills/weight loss supplements to increase your metabolism.

Well start eating more. Eat 6 small meals a day..... Usually try to get food into your body every couple of hours, it helps keep up you metabolism so you can burn calories. Its pretty impossible to lose weight unless you diet or excerise or get surgery. Starving yourself doesnt work really either because your body will start to build up fat reserves it has to make up for the food your not giving to your body.

EAT MORE. I'm serious. It will rev up your metabolism. Eat protein at every meal. 3 meals a day and 2 snacks. Zone diet is very healthy and effective; you are not deprived at all.

Its not good for weight loss (long term) if you "don't eat much at all." You are just slowing down your metabolism.

Eat small, well balanced meals about 5 times a day, and get on a routine. By not eating regularly you are convincing your body that food is scarce, and it will go into "starvation mode"....when it reaches it's extreme you will notice little hairs growing everywhere, like fuzz, and your body will attempt to conserve all the fat it can b/c it thinks it's starving. Smaller meals, more frequently, and raise your activity level. Effort = Results. Period.

actually, eating only a little can be as bad as eating too much. our bodies are designed to survive too little food, rather than too much. too much food is a recent problem. when we eat too little, our metabolism freaks out, thinking that there's a famine or something, and so it saves as much fat and calories as possible. the trick isn't to eat only a little, it's to fill your stomach with things that are good for you. eat small, frequent meals, with lots of veggies, and drink pleanty of water, at least 8 glasses a day. you don't really need to excercize, just make small changes. park far away from the store and walk. take the stairs instead of an elevator.

You need to stop being lazt and get off your butt to excercise. Also, not eating isnt a healthy diet. you need to eat healthy things because not eating at all just makes your body consrve fat more.
